Burial/memorial information
In his personal file and in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission records, Amilia Leroux was listed as his mother, but in fact it is his sister, Émilia Deniger, wife of Hector Leroux, of Lemieux, Ontario.
The day he died, the 22nd Battalion had just taken position in a trench to prepare the memorable assault of Courcelette, scheduled for the next day. Caporal Deniger, not familiar with the area, exposed himself to work on the parapet wall and was shot by a German sniper.
